`emerge` fails to find ebuilds masked by EAPI when repository is specified. The attached script creates example ebuilds.

$ PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/tmp/test_repository" emerge -Op =app-misc/test-0

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

[ebuild  N     ] app-misc/test-0 
$ PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/tmp/test_repository" emerge -Op =app-misc/test-0::test_repository

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

[ebuild  N     ] app-misc/test-0 
$ PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/tmp/test_repository" emerge -Op =app-misc/test-1

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:


!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "=app-misc/test-1" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- app-misc/test-1::test_repository (masked by: EAPI 5)

The current version of portage supports EAPI '4'. You must upgrade to a
newer version of portage before EAPI masked packages can be installed.
For more information, see the MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge
man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.

$ PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/tmp/test_repository" emerge -Op =app-misc/test-1::test_repository

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:


emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "=app-misc/test-1::test_repository".
